Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just cleaned my MAF and was wondering if I put it in back wards when I put the engine back together 2 weeks ago. Does the little paper clip looking thing with the transistor go toward the air filter?

POST 2Original post

The air box should prevent you from installing it backwards. The screw holes are offset.

POST 3Original post

If you could install it backwards, which, as Doug said, you can't, I guess it would become a FAM.

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good one!

POST 5Original post

Towards the filter, and if you managed to get it in backwards, the car should run like cr@p.

POST 6Original post

Tim installed his backward and it turned into a Honda. We are all hoping he will turn it back around any day now!!!

Unless it's in Florida the land of sunshine. In Florida either way its a MAF a lot better off than anywhere else. Well except for Hawaii.....until the island sinks flaming volcanoes and all.
